The legendary elevator scene between the spouses Fredrik Lobelius (Gunnar Björnstrand) and Karin (Eva Dahlbeck). In the book Images Bergman had this to say about the scene: "For the first time, I heard an audience laugh at something I had created."
Kaj (Jarl Kulle) seduces the sexually frustraded Rakel (Anita Björk). Waiting Women was Jarl Kulle’s first Bergman film. There would be another five films and three theatre productions.
